Established in 1897 as a cycle manufacturer, formerly known as Hotchkiss, Mayo and Meek at Hill Cross Works, Coventry; when Hotchkiss died and Meek left the company, it came under the control of Edmund Mayo and Bernard Rotherham and moved to Lincoln Street becoming the Coventry Eagle Cycle Co. The company produced motorcycles between 1899 and 1940.
Purchased by the late Fred Evans many years ago to join the Coventry Eagle section of his predominantly prewar motorcycle collection, this 1925 Coventry Eagle S29 was immediately hoisted into a barn attic where it has remained almost ever since. Thought to be substantially complete and in much the same condition as when it was bought, the bike is a worthwhile project and VMCC eligible. The accompanying V5C Registration Document has it listed as a ‘Coventry Climax’ rather than a Coventry Eagle (presumably the result of a previous admin error).
